I enjoy skiing,swimming and reading.I had two turtles.But they died of eating too much. I'm curious about the US.If you want to know real China you can ask me.I'll try my best to help you. My hometown is ChangChun,a beautiful city ,I love it very much.It is in the northeast of China. My email is 771737980@qq.com. we can communicate through the email ,too.^_^ You must have read many books, would you like to introduce them to me?

I have reads TONS of good books. The problem is narrowing it down to just one, though! I really like the Harry Potter series, along with Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, and Luna. What are some of your favorite books that you've read? Hope to hear from you soon! =^_^=**
 * What does Cao Yang mean in chinese??

​ Oh,it's a good question,how can I say? Er.......mmm...... As you know,Cao（曹） is my family name,Yang(洋）is the name given by my parents.In China,洋is means ocean and sea.There is a proverb in China which says :海纳百川，有容乃大. I don't kown how to translate.But maybe l can have a try.lt means the sea can hold the water from thousands of rivers, it's big because of its capacity.lt is just metaphrase.Proverb has abundant connotations.1000 Hamlet 1000 individuals have.ln my opinion,lt says a person is great when he can be tolerant and forgiving to many other people and views.My parents want me to have a broad-mind so that l can live out my life happily. l like Harry Potter series ,too.l have a whole set of it,and l also have three books of English edition. Recently ,l have been watching Around world in 80'days.And l have seen some moves like Twilight,The Pursuit of Happyness and August Rush. Can you tell me what themes Nick and Norah's lnfinite Playlist ,and Luna talk about? l'm busy preparing for the new year party these days.How will you spend Christmas? Would you like to show me some photos about that days? Would you mind sending them to my email? Expect your replay soon!

** When you watch american movies, do you watch them in chinese, or are they still in english? Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and Luna are both about how one should live their life for nobody but themselves and it doesn't matter what people think of you as long as your happy. Chinese New Year? Next year is the year of the Rooster I think... And I'm a Rooster! Hope I have a good year next year. Could you send me pictures of the party? For Christmas, I'm going to visit my Dad who lives in Florida (If you don't know where that is, it's the only chunk of land that sticks out into the ocean). And I'd love to send you some pictures! By the way, my email is jojobutter@rocketmail.com Jojo is another nickname of mine, and butter is short for nutterbutter, which is a type of peanut butter cookie s that are really yummy.**

 * I'm sorry that the next year isn't Rooster,instead, it's Tiger.In China,there are twelve animals .Each year is named after one animal.Every twelve years is a cycle.Do you kown which these animals are? I'm very happy you have known that China have animals stand for years.**=====

**I wish you will enjoy yourself on christmas!** Jordan, wish you merry Christmas !
Hi Cynthia! I finished my vacation yesterday (1/05/10). It lasted for 2 weeks. What is the Spring Festival exactly? How far away from your hometown do you live? Thanks! I had a wonderful Christmas.

I am so sorry Jo, I have not responded to you yet. I’m glad that you have a wonderful Christmas. We just started our new semester one week age. We had winter holiday lasted for one month. I went back to my hometown, I don't known how far from my home town clearly, but it took me about 9 hours by train to go home.I went to my grandma's home during the Spring festival,also by train ,because my grandma didn't live with us.I met my cousins. The first day during the Spring Festival is my youngest cousin’s birthday, how lucky she is ! During these days we set fire cracker, eat dumplings… My hometown locate in the northeast of China, so it is colder than Beijing. I just realized that there might be a misunderstanding. We called January first as new year’s day, so I took the pictures of our school’s new year party. I’m sorry I didn’t find that Chinese new year, which you referred to, is the spring festival .It’s so pity I only have the pictures of the last New Year’s party. I will sent them to you email box. Looking forward to your replay.*^-^* Sorry ,the postmaster can't deliver these pictures,So l put these here.
